Hyundai Starex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Sirs, I tend to agree with Imperialv that the Grand Starex should be considered as Gen 2 only or Gen 3 if you consider the Mestizo in 2004.

1997-2006 (Same Body):

1997 - The very first Starex with 2.7 engine, normally aspirated, makupad but body beautiful at that time. SVX and CLUB models.
1998 - Hyundai introduced the Turbo engine 2.5 engine, 85HP medyo OK na and hatak, same body.
1999 - This is the real turning point for the Starex, when they introduced the 2.5 TCI at 103HP, mas mabilis, malakas. Hit sa market! Same body.
2000 - Hyundai put on a new grille, same TCI engine, downgraded the seat fabric from velour to half-sack. Same body.
2001 - They introduced the BWS (Back Warning Sensor), same TCI engine, sold very well due to BWS. Same body.
2002 - They introduced the first CRDI engine in Asia, the entire system was designed by Bosch, 2.5 engine 145 HP, sobrang lakas at bilis for small disc and drum brakes kaya madalas mabunggo. same body.
2003 - Was not a very good year for the Starex, people were confused between the TCI and the CRDI and the body was already 6 years old na same body pa rin, around September 2003, nawalan ng stock sa Korea as in zero. Same body.
2004 - December 2003 , they introduced the GRX and GOLD with with new front and rear end, new trim, the TCI at 105HP and the CRDI at 145 HP sported new bigger all-Disc brakes. People went crazy again, excellent year for Starex. We minimized selling TCI in 2003, and in 2004 we stopped selling TCI altogether and promoted the CRDI engine. Some Changes in body.
2005 - The GRX and GOLD was still briskly selling. The Korean Won went crazy and hit the ceiling... prices went up.
2006 - The sales went down due to the high price of Starex, brought about by the strong Korean Won.

2007-2013...(New Body)

2007 - Hyundai introduced the first German-designed Korean vehicle - The Grand Starex comes with the All-New Viano look alike Body, elegant in every way, Teutonic suspension, longer, bigger, body beautiful! 174 HP shames most 6 cyl cars with the first VGT turbo in Asia. A hit around the world. Euro 4 engine.
2012 - They introduced a new improved engine, a Euro-5 engine with 12% more torques, 175 HP, changed to electric fan, introduced the DPF to self clean the exhaust system, shifted from Bosch to Delphi and made driving so much more enjoyable! I love Hyundai!

2013 - Hancars introduced the only New Look Grand Starex in the Philippines. same fun, but more classy and more elegant.

And that's the history of the most Beloved Family Van, now Family Sports Van in the Philippines - The Hyundai Starex.

Thanks Guys.

> TCi (Gen3 and GS) - 100HP (lang); 23ps at 2000RPM
> CRDi (Gen3) - 145HP
> VGT (GS) - 170HP; 40ps at 2000-2500RPM
*** max HP all at 3800RPM

Now, the GS is about 500Kg heavier than the Gen3.

Whew! 180KPH?.... L!ntek,- sa Autobanh lang ako naka-experience ng ganyan + more....Tumatakbo kami ng 220KPH+,- may nagflash pa sa likod para mag-overtake...

At one time, sa motorsiklo pa... Grabe ang kapit/yakap ko sa driver,- pareho pa kaming nakainom (at linsyak,- lalaki pa....)

Hindi ko mismo nakita ang speed, pero sabi ng driver about 180KPH daw!!! Lahat ng santo natawag ko na....

17.9K:cupid2:

The last time I was anywhere that fast was with a Gen 3 GS at 170 kph on NLEX after the big toll plaza southbound. D*mn LC200! Antulin amp0tah!

^ganda pa ng acceleration nung lc200 kasi kahit 180kph na kami pareho nung nag-overtake na sa akin e sobrang effortless and few seconds lang layo na nya agad. 615 N/m vs 400 N/m, no match.

**imperialv** · January 30th, 2013 01:01 PM

No match din ang price ng GS sa LC200.... :D pero ok lang yun, hindi naman makupad si GS natin.

**jaggerx3** · January 31st, 2013 12:02 AM

Anung kinakaraga niyo na fuel sa GS niyO? Lagi ako Petron Diesel eh, minsa turbo Diesel.

Kanina naalanganin ako, sa Shell ako nagpa karga, Nitro+ Diesel pa yun. Parang ang panget ng hatak.
